Attorney General Pam Bondi was instructed by Donald Trump to look into online fundraising programs in order to crack down on illegal” straw donors” ( those who make gifts in the name of another ) and foreign donations made to U.S. votes on Thursday.

Democrats reacted nearly right away with indignation. Additionally, despair.
The firm claimed in a speech that the Trump Administration and the GOP are “blatantly attacking democracy in America.” Donald Trump’s latest entry in his plan to eliminate all social, political, and intellectual opposition should be seen for what it is:” Today’s increase by the White House is clearly unlawful.”
The stress subsequently developed.

Reminds me of insects that move around after one turns over a piece of garbage.
Of course, Trump didn’t” opened down” ActBlue, but don’t let them know that.  ,
And they ought to despair. Since ActBlue was established in 2004, there have been several complaints about” grass funds” being accepted and illegal foreign funds. The 2012 Obama campaign was the biggest recipient of the biggest fine in Federal Election Commission record for accepting foreign gifts, mostly collected by ActBlue.  ,  ,
Since 2004, the system has processed close to$ 16 billion, making it essential for donating money to individuals and organizations that support the left-wing ecosphere’s function.  ,
This research is in order for a long time. ActBlue has undergone some changes since the 2012 Obama plan, but its oversight still has some gaps, according to a report released by republicans in Congress lately.

Trump’s behavior is the most recent attack on the Republican system. Republicans in Congress have been looking into ActBlue, saying that it does not adequately protect against fraud, a claim that ActBlue authorities have refuted. Additionally, three GOP-led House committees released an interim team report earlier this month, alleging that the nonprofit had not done much to combat “fraudulent actors” from other countries.
The report claimed that despite ActBlue’s “general attitude toward fraud protection is unserious,” the organization’s “general attitude toward fraud protection is unserious” includes the removal of gift cards for gifts and requiring donors to put a CVV, the three or four-digit variety found on the backside of a credit card when submitting contributions.
Rep. Bryan Steil, a Republican from Wisconsin who chairs the House Administration Committee, one of the panel investigating ActBlue, referred to the memo as” a huge step in the fight against international bad actors from pouring illicit cash into our elections.”
When seven essential staff members resigned, the firm descended into chaos in March, perhaps because it was aware of what was about to happen. This left the organization wondering about the future.

The ActBlue customer support and collaborations directors resigned on February 21 as part of the migration. Both people had been employed by the company for more than ten years.

The associate public lawyers, the highest-ranking legal officer at ActBlue, the admin study director, a human resources standard, the general revenue official, and a 16-year engineer who had spent 16 years building and maintaining the electronic pipes through which the organization’s donations flow, all left the following week.
Zain Ahmad, the last remaining attorney in the ActBlue general attorney’s office, left as a result of a screenshot The New York Times obtained in an inner Slack information on February 26 that his access to email and other domestic systems had been terminated and that other communications he had posted in Slack had been deleted. According to a person with knowledge of the organization’s staffing, Mr. Ahmad is currently on leave from ActBlue.
Although this is pure speculation, it appears that some senior staff members are concerned about their legal repercussions from ActBlue’s methods of obtaining funding from dubious sources. I don’t believe Bondi would have been brought in unless something is being looked into. This is not a fishing trip.  ,
